Two days later, Mobei Wolf traveled to Houston and loaded 70 standard containers stuffed with coconuts onto a freight train. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If all goes well, 3,000 tons of treated marijuana will arrive in Las Vegas in two days. Because the freighter carrying the drink would arrive in New Orleans the next day, Mobei Wolf did not return to Las Vegas. For the sake of insurance, Mobei Wolf prepared forty container trucks to personally escort this batch of goods.

When Mobei Wolf received the goods in New Orleans, Liu Wei received a call from Bao Liuqing from Switzerland.

The renovation work of the FOS Legion was ready, and Li Tingxuan provided ten sets of renovation equipment, starting with the transformation of the manor guards. Because of the large amount of electricity required, two turbine generators with an output of 12 megawatts were added to the estate.

The raw materials required for the transformation have been prepared, and the biggest problem is the fuel for power generation.

For this reason, Bao Liuqing could not return to the United States with the first batch of K1 members who had completed the transformation, and she had to stay in Switzerland and obtain fuel through various channels.

Purchasing fuel for power generation is the largest cost of large-scale retrofits.

In any case, the work of building the FOS Legion has officially begun, and what Liu Wei has to do is to get enough money before Yuan Changqing spends all the reserve funds.

On the same day, Liu Wei left for South Africa.

After meeting Li Tingxuan, Liu Wei called Srehom and asked him to go to the refugee camp in three more installments to recruit 1,500 mercenaries. Two days later, Batavia arrived in South Africa through ten Pakistani instructors hired by General Ali, and then ten special forces instructors sent by Li Tingxuan also rushed over.

Although there are still not enough instructors, under normal circumstances, an instructor can bring a maximum of thirty recruits, and after Sreholm completes the recruitment, there will be two thousand recruits, and at least seventy instructors are needed, but Liu Wei took Li Tingxuan's suggestion and did not plan to train these mercenaries into super soldiers. All they have to learn is the correct use of individual weapons such as guns, as well as the most basic tactical skills.

The requirements have been lowered, the pressure on the instructors has been greatly reduced, and it is not a big problem to bring a hundred recruits for one person.

After nearly a month of intensive training, this 2,000-strong mercenary army has the most basic combat capability.

Liu Wei went over this time to help Sreholm solve the problem of weapons and equipment.

Fortunately, South Africa has the largest number of mercenaries in Africa, and therefore the largest black arms market in Africa, so it is not difficult to buy 2,000 ordinary arms.

What really needs to be dealt with by Liu Wei is still those main battle equipment.

Since it is to go back and seize power, it cannot be without main battle equipment.

Dian Bin has been busy in South Africa for nearly a month, and has contacted several black market arms dealers to buy some main battle weapons that are absolutely advanced on the African continent, such as the "Sunqiulun" MK13 main battle tank that was eliminated by the South African army, the BMP-1/2 infantry fighting vehicle obtained from Russia, the "Mamba Snake" MK2 wheeled armored transport vehicle produced by South Africa, the Mi-17 transport helicopter and Mi-24 armed helicopter produced by Russia, and so on.

Although there are not many of these heavy equipment, they are definitely a "big killer" in Sierra Leone.

The big question is, who will indulge and use these main battle equipment?

Vehicles are fine, with smarter mercenaries able to drive after a few days of training, while main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and helicopters are a nuisance.

Because Li Tingxuan refused to provide combat personnel, Liu Wei could only ask Sleiholm to hire tankmen and pilots.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of these talents in the mercenary market in South Africa.

In addition to equipment, it is also necessary to consider the means of transportation.

Although Dian Bin got two 10,000-ton freighters, both ships were "black accounts", which were hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Guinea more than 10 years ago and then sold cheaply to guerrillas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As a result, the freighters could not enter the South African port, so Dian Bin had to go to Mozambique and bribe the port officials in Maputo to let the freighters dock, while Srehom's army could only go to Mozambique.

This was a troublesome affair because the corps had to go north into Zimbabwe and then south into Mozambique.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, let the Zimbabwean mercenaries who have completed their training work for Srehom, instead of returning to their hometown to fight for the warlords. After coming to South Africa, Liu Wei took out two million dollars in cash, gave each person a thousand dollars, and announced the military regulations of the legion.

After he got these things done, Mobei Wolf also came to South Africa.

According to the plan, after the legion arrives in Sierra Leone, Mobei Wolf and Zhou Yulong will each lead a "brigade" of 1,000 men, one will land near Freetown to be responsible for recovering the capital occupied by the warlords, and the other will go ashore at the mouth of the Semoa River and advance along the border between Sierra Leone and Liberia to establish a border defense line to prevent foreign intervention forces from entering Sierra Leone. Once both armies had been deployed, Sleiholm would return to Freetown to form a provisional political axe.

Although Mobei Wolf and Zhou Yulong are not commanding talents, their ability to deal with the warlord's armed forces is more than enough.

The last to arrive was Zhou Yulong, who had been scouting in Sierra Leone for a month and found out the details of the various warlords.

What Zhou Yulong brought back, in addition to intelligence, also had some additional requirements.

According to him, if you want to eliminate the warlords with decapitation operations, achieve victory as quickly as possible, and help Srehom control the whole of Sierra Leone, in addition to a legion, you need several unmanned reconnaissance aircraft with battlefield surveillance capabilities, preferably long-endurance unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

This is difficult for Dian Bin, because even in South Africa, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are high-end goods.

There are only a few countries in the world that can produce unmanned reconnaissance planes, and they can be counted, and it is basically impossible for these countries to sell unmanned reconnaissance planes, and it is also difficult to get them on the black market. It's not a question of price, it's Russia, which is the main source of arms on the black market, doesn't produce unmanned reconnaissance aircraft at all.

There was really no way, Zhou Yulong could only settle for the next best thing, let Dian Bin build a few small planes, install photoelectric reconnaissance equipment on them, and arrange a few special forces to be responsible for air support.

This little thing is still difficult to stop Dian Bin.

After Zhou Yulong returned, he and Mobei Wolf led the legion out of the training camp and went to Mozambique. Dian Bin flew to Maputo first, arranged the pick-up work, and then took a few special forces sent by Li Tingxuan to buy small planes and aerial reconnaissance equipment.

Liu Wei set off a day late and went directly to the port of Maputo, where he boarded the freighter named "Fuguo" by Srehom.

The counteroffensive command center was on this freighter, and the command was carried out by four special forces. Although their tactical command ability is not as good as that of professional staff officers, they are certainly much better than those mercenaries with extremely poor quality. Besides, mercenaries can't play with those sophisticated communication and electronic equipment.

In the evening, the "Fuguo" and another freighter, known as the "Victory", left the port on time.

At this time, in addition to carrying more than 2,000 mercenaries, the two freighters also had 12 main battle tanks, 18 infantry fighting vehicles, 26 armored vehicles, 8 transport helicopters, and four armed helicopters, and in the bilges of the freighters there were more than 100 million rounds of guns and ammunition, thousands of rockets, more than 10,000 artillery shells, and hundreds of airborne heavy anti-tank missiles, and as many as 1,000 tons of daily combat materials prepared for the mercenaries, mainly food and medicine.

After leaving Mozambique's territorial waters and entering the open sea, the crews of the two freighters were busy.

In order to hide the sight, the freighter was not converted in the port. On the high seas, the crew lifted the steel plates out and set up four helicopter take-off and landing points in front of the bridge. Before the corps landed, occupied beach positions, set up front-line take-off and landing points, and sent supplies ashore, the helicopters with support missions could only return to the freighter to replenish fuel and ammunition, so the freighter had to be properly modified.

Relatively speaking, this is a very simple matter, just set up the shelf and weld the steel plate on.

The more troublesome thing is the laying of pipes to refuel the helicopter. Because there must be no problems, the Pakistani instructors who accompanied them were in charge of the work.

The next morning, the "flotilla" rounded the Cape of Good Hope and entered the Atlantic.

Because of the strong wind and waves, all the mercenaries stayed in the cabin.

It was not until two days later, when the "fleet" left the storm area and reached a sea area less than 1,000 kilometers from the Gulf of Guinea, that Liu Wei organized mercenaries and went to the deck for shooting training.

During this time, the instructor also taught the mercenaries how to quickly solve the common malfunctions of firearms.

Fortunately, Dian Bin got all AK series rifles, and mainly AKM and AKMS, which rarely malfunctioned even if they were used roughly.

What these poorly trained mercenaries need to learn is not troubleshooting, but how to run out of bullets in the magazine in the heat of battle.

The accuracy of the AK series rifles is not bad, but in the hands of soldiers who lack training, they often become "submachine guns".

No matter what kind of assault rifle it is, it is not suitable for strafing, and the battle is dominated by burst fire. Doing so improves shooting accuracy and reduces ammo consumption.

The two-day shooting training was mainly based on point shooting.

In order to improve the psychological quality of the soldiers, the instructor also set up several machine guns on the deck and fired at the top of the heads of the trained soldiers, so that they could experience the combat environment of bullets in advance.

Although several timid mercenaries were killed and wounded, Liu Wei did not raise objections.

In the K1 training camp, instead of strafing the students' heads, the instructors fired directly at the students' sides, and it was common for them to hang the lottery because of their slow reactions.

After the shooting training, the "flotilla" also reached the sea off the coast of Sierra Leone.

After nightfall, Mobei Wolf and Zhou Yulong each led a reconnaissance team to the offshore sea in a Mi-17 helicopter, and then swam to the beach.

Before dawn, two reconnaissance groups returned to the ship with the latest tactical intelligence.

The warlords who controlled the mouths of the Freetown and Semoa rivers did not find ships anchored in the open sea, there were no defenses on the shore, and the army in the city of Freetown was not ready for battle.

It is not surprising that the war in Sierra Leone has been going on for decades, and there is no navy at all.

After getting ready, Liu Wei gave the order to attack as the "commander-in-chief".
